Carousel <br /> <br />Pondering horses on circular courses <br />A purpose with nowhere to go <br />Their manes set flailing, faces detailing <br />Refusing to heed to the whoa <br /> <br />Butterfly travels on opulent saddles <br />Tiny faces exposing their heart <br />Some feign distraction others crave action <br />The youngest need help at the start <br /> <br />Ticketed haste to a Wurlitzer pace <br />In air pumped with confection <br />The children exact, while their parents react <br />To a landscape of shifting complexion <br /> <br />Impressions regale, the innocence unveiled <br />A periphery of luster and worn smooth brass <br />Memories made on one perfect day <br /> And you yearned it would never pass<br /><br />Pablo Cruise<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/carousel-revised/
